It was no mistake that the fire brigade joined the ranks of the Ministry of the Interior. There is firefighting equipment. If there is a problem with the equipment, it has to do with the clothing. At least that's what firefighters told me.
This was stated in "Day Live" on NovaNews, the former Minister of the Interior Veselin Vuchkov, who commented on the difficult situation with the fires throughout the country, quoted by novini.bg.
"I can't say that the Ministry of Interior handled the situation. Mistakes are always made, but they are not related to lack of technique. Rather, they are organizational. As soon as a disaster occurs, some absurd reform proposals are immediately started. Now they want the fire department to leave the Ministry of Internal Affairs and become independent. That would be a mistake for me. The fire department and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are naturally connected. The same applies to "Civil Protection", he revealed.
"Each reform must be very well thought out. The politicians are the ones who should make political reforms in the ministries. The Ministry of Internal Affairs lacks exactly that - the effort, vision and ideas for reforms, and this is not a criticism of the current political leadership of the Ministry of the Interior. There must be reforms in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. To begin with, all pensioners in the system should be released. The staff must be renewed and funds must be freed up. In just 5 months, the remuneration of all employees of the Ministry of the Interior will increase. This means another BGN 1 billion for the Ministry of Internal Affairs. We, as citizens, should know what we are getting for these huge amounts for the Ministry of Interior. This is the reason why there should be reforms in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but unfortunately we are clearly going to new early elections and a caretaker government cannot take on such a heavy task", announced Veselin Vuchkov.
